Andrew Devereux is an historian of the medieval and early modern Mediterranean at UC San Diego. He earned his Ph.D. in 2011 from the Department of History at Johns Hopkins University. In his scholarship, Professor Devereux approaches the history of the Mediterranean from a global perspective, examining the Sea’s connections to the wider world, particularly those forces that brought the region into contact with Northern Europe, with West Africa, with Central Asia, as well as with the maritime systems of the Atlantic and Indian oceans.
